[KNOWN ISSUE] Bug - Link-URL menu type not visible in Menu Item select list - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

link-url menu types not visible in menu item selection list hence can not assign modules or left/right column link-url template gets corrupted.

thanks report.

edit: info below striked out realised joomla does give unique itemid if url not include one

i guess link url intended external links , therefor not suffixed itemid

there may case having option give itemid. linking pages within components, different module assignments main component pages

two points bear in mind:

1)  links content items in joomla, can use menu link of type:
link - content item
or
link - static content

both of give itemid link , therefore available in module selection lists

2)  links of type url, can add own itemid on end  (matching existing itemid of course )

so if have existing link id of 57

you can create further links of type url , add onto url

&itemid=57

and receive same module assignments link id of 57

if require unique assignments, create "hidden" item on menu not publish ( e.g. other menu )  know not conveinient workaround.

as option in menu manager, need seek devs opinion on that.
